“…To achieve business continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic, tech startups can benefit from focusing their resources on building a self-adaptive organizational learning model that uses a lean configuration, ensures the overall system stability and makes the integration of key decision makers a priority (Schuhmacher and Hummel, 2019). A new self-adaptive organizational learning model during the COVID-19 pandemic faces substantial challenges.…”

PurposeGiven the nature of corona chaos, tech startups confront strategic disorientation; therefore, this study aims to constructively engage with the theory development process in the area of management decision, adopt causal complexity with a configurational approach of McKinsey's 5R paradigm and the Newtonian gravitational field.Design/methodology/approachThis study provides a novel conceptualization of systematic research of explanatory mechanisms for navigating the turbulence and consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. This configurational study shows how European tech startups adopt strategies in addressing COVID-19 challenges successfully.FindingsThe analysis reveals configurations that lead to the outcome of the conceptual model, namely, reimagining the equifinal paths to the next normal. The findings suggest that, in navigating the crisis, tech startups are able to seize market opportunities, capture technological opportunities and consolidate their future positions.Research limitations/implicationsThe principal limitation consists of limited empirical evidence regarding tech startups’ ability to navigate Covid-19 crisis and choose the appropriate path to the next normal.Practical implicationsThis study enhances European tech startups’ capability to adopt reflexivity and openness while navigating the Covid-19 chaotic context. Furthermore, the study provides a managerial toolkit to guide strategic decisions via deepening their understanding of the new created realities.Originality/valueThis study provides a novel conceptualization of systematic research on explanatory mechanisms for navigating the turbulence and consequences of the COVID-19 crisis context. This configurational study shows how European tech startups adopt strategies that address COVID-19 challenges successfully.

“…The development of internal ITS along with the development of monitoring, communication, and planning systems (including digital technologies in enterprises) resulted in combining production and logistics systems in one complex system and the introduction of the concept of intralogistics. The term intralogistics is well-known, especially in the German-based industries, as many scientific articles were affiliated in renowned German universities, e.g., [34][35][36]. This term is defined by the Intralogistics Forum Verband Deutscher Maschinen-und Anlagenbau (VDMA) [36] as "organization, control, execution and optimization of the flow of materials and information inside a plant, as well as handling of goods in industrial, distribution and public sector facilities".…”

How Digital Twin Concept Supports Internal Transport Systems?—Literature Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the Industry 4.0 era, the Digital Twin has become one of the most promising enabling technologies supporting material flow. Although the literature on the Digital Twin is becoming relatively well explored, including a certain number of review papers, the context of the Digital Twins application in internal transport systems has not been investigated so far. This paper thoroughly reviews the research on the Digital Twins applied in internal transport systems concerning major research trends within this research area and identification of future research directions. It provides clarification of various definitions related to the Digital Twin concept, including misconceptions such as a digital shadow, a digital model, and a digital mirror. Additionally, the relationships between terms such as material handling, material flow, and intralogistics in the context of internal transport systems coupled with the Digital Twin are explained. This paper’s contribution to the current state of the art of the Digital Twins is three-fold: (1) recognition of the most influential and high-impact journals, papers, and researchers; (2) identification of the major research trends related to the Digital Twins applications in internal transport systems, and (3) presentation of future research agendas in investigating Digital Twins applied for internal transport systems.

“…At the same time, a new term has recently appeared: "Intralogistics". This term is particularly popular in German industries; there are many scientific articles in this area from recognized German universities [8][9][10]. This term was defined by the Intralogistics Forum Verband Deutscher Maschinen-und Anlagenbau (VDMA) [11] (p. 132) as: "The organisation, control, implementation and optimisation of the internal flow of materials, the flow of information and the handling of goods in industry, retail and public facilities."…”

“…It is currently uncertain whether the I4.0 approach will replace or revive Lean Manufacturing [4]. There are articles whose authors give examples that Lean and I4.0 should be treated complementarily [9,15].…”

Digital Twin Lean Intralogistics: Research Implications

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article presents research implications related to the analysis of current trends occurring in the industry and resulting from the analysis of trends in literature. A new trend is noticeable in the range of computer simulations using digital twin technologies in the optimization of intralogistics processes, the implementation of which is based on Lean philosophy. This article shows the connection of Industry 4.0 with Lean in the context of Digital Twin (simulation) in the area of intralogistics. A three-step methodology of literature research was developed and described. In accordance with the adopted research methodology, research questions were indicated and a detailed list of selection criteria was developed. The research methods included brainstorming and statistical analysis. The research results are presented in three sections: the results of the trend analysis, the results of the quantitative literature research, and the results of the complementary research. The research results confirm the existence of a new trend and form the basis for formulating objectives for further research.
